1. Change 0.015 to a fraction.

• A. 3/200
• B. 3/2000
• C. 15/1000
• D. 3/100

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

2. Report all decimal places: 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 =

• A. 14.989
• B. 5.226
• C. 15.0
• D. 5.012

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum, you add the numbers 3.7, 7.289, and 4 together. 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 equals 14.989. The correct answer is 14.989 because it includes all decimal places from the sum of the numbers provided. Choice B (5.226) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the sum of the given numbers. Choice C (15.0) is incorrect as it rounds the sum to the nearest whole number, losing the decimal precision. Choice D (5.012) is incorrect as it doesn't reflect the correct sum of the decimal numbers.

3. How many milliliters are in 3 liters?

• A. 300 milliliters
• B. 3000 milliliters
• C. 1500 milliliters
• D. 300 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3 liters = 3 × 1,000 = 3,000 milliliters. Choice A (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters. Choice C (1500 milliliters) is incorrect as it is halfway between the correct answer and a common mistake of confusing liters with milliliters. Choice D (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it is the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters.

4. What is the absolute value of -7?

• A. 49
• B. 17
• C. 7
• D. 14

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. In this case, the absolute value of -7 is 7 because it is 7 units away from zero in the negative direction. Therefore, the absolute value of -7 is 7. Choice A (49) is incorrect as it is the square of -7, not the absolute value. Choice B (17) and Choice D (14) are incorrect values and do not represent the absolute value of -7.

5. What is 39 ÷ 8 ÷ 7/6?

• A. 56/39
• B. 39/8
• C. 4 & 7/8
• D. 5 & 8/14

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the division problem, we need to remember the rule 'Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.' Therefore, 39 ÷ 8 ÷ 7/6 is equivalent to 39 ÷ 8 × 6/7. Simplifying this gives (39 × 6) ÷ (8 × 7) = 234 ÷ 56 = 56/39. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly simplify the given division problem.
